New Bestselling Novel, Whispers, Fights Fake News
What is fake news? The buzzword is everywhere but the definition seems to be as partisan as the soundbites its’ mention negates. Why is it so hard for this country to agree on anything right now? Many would claim fake news is to blame, and for the most part, they’d be right.
Spotting fake news is difficult when the way Americans consume media is literally quantified and used to pinpoint the perfect way to persuade a consumer to whatever the highest bidding advertiser’s objective is. That algorithm is great when a person wants to buy something, but when it comes to informing the masses of critical information, it’s become deadly.
In the same way that the Social Dilemma illuminated the inherent hazards of echo-chamber algorithms, unsettling data-sales, and the frightening reality that many dangerous people are using social media to brainwash, Whispers asks, “Who are the money behind the ‘news sources’ and what is their ultimate goal?”.
Set in a fictionalized parallel world, full of highly relevant modern-day struggles, Stacey, a single contract lawyer, and her two sisters fall down the same rabbit hole of click-bait answers to complex issues that many Americans have slipped into over COVID.
The explosive thriller is a not-so-dark-mirror to reality, and the characters are not immune to the charms of believing in the fantastic. Once Stacey’s niece is stolen from their vacation rental, and her sister finds a clue that directly ties the crime scene to an ancient myth, the sisters are swept into a horrific tidal wave of misinformation, redirection, and conspiracy.
It’s bad enough when the key suspect is an urban legend, but soon it becomes apparent there are far more powerful people involved. The sisters find out, first hand, the true culprit behind the “catch-and-kill” plots to silence the powerless.
When asked why Bartron decided to fictionalize this weighty topic she replied, “When we argue we dig ourselves into our position, making it impossible to see anything clearly, but fiction allows truths to surface in a non-threatening way and activates the parts of our minds that use logic instead of our own inherent, learned or inflicted, biases.”
